Iron-based catalysts for both the anode and cathodes of fuel cells would make them much cheaper to use to burn hydrogen. Release Date: 2/17/2013
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have found that their mass spectrometry-based technique, called PRISM, performed as accurately as standard clinical tests known as ELISAs. The technique should be able to speed up development of protein-specific diagnostic tests and treatment. Release Date: 9/3/2012
The sugar O-GlcNAc is involved in regulating how proteins within nerve cells such as this one function. A new study expands the number of proteins subject to this regulation. Release Date: 4/16/2012
New research points to two important roles for bacteria that live in the underground fungal gardens of leafcutter ants: the bacteria both help decompose leaves that ants bring to the gardens and play a major role in turning those leaves into nutrients for both ants and the fungi.

PNNL has won a Federal Laboratory Consortium award for transferring a technology that helps to improve research sample analysis. Release Date: 1/25/2012
PNNL researchers are exploring how proteins and biomarkers could help diagnose breast cancer earlier. Release Date: 10/28/2011
A new model of the single-celled marine cyanobacterium Cyanothece could help researchers use blue-green algae to make renewable energy by predicting which of its genes are central to capturing energy from sunlight. Release Date: 6/23/2011
Researchers have determined the architecture of the first of a many-component structure that bacteria called Shewanella use to live off metal like people live off oxygen. Release Date: 5/31/2011
Honeycombed particles of functionalized mesoporous silica filled with anti-cancer antibodies act like time-release capsules at tumor site in mice. Release Date: 5/21/2010
